The building which replaces the old Maidenhead public library, has been organized on three levels which adapt themselves to the sharp slope of the land. It has reading rooms for adults and children, research consultation sections, book exhibition and conference rooms, complementary Administrative and Management services and a garage for the mobile library bus. The design reveals a great care in organizing flexible and integrated spaces as well as offering adequate natural lighting in the reading rooms and in the library as a whole, by means of a strip of glass going around the building, located between the wail top and the metallic roof, which appears suspended and gives a light and pleasant effect. The outside has an interesting movement of bare brick sections which contrast with the roof's reticular structure.
